every so often I try again about my brick wall you never know an Elisha Wilcox arrived in upper Canada about 1780 and took up land in the county of Essex in the township of Colchester He was joined by his sons from the North East Pa NY they also applied for land as sons of UEL's He and a daughter Sarah her husband Eliphet Emmons and a young son were murdered on the banks of the Detroit River one son Hezakiah took up land in Kent County on the banks of the Thames river and many of his descendants are still farming in the area.anther son Hezakiah and his wife a Lana Crydreman raised 17 of which I have a good record. Onthe other hand we really don't know anything about Elisha background or his sons that met him in Detroit prior to 1800
